Happy Wednesday! I enjoyed my early morning aqua-robics class and then did several batches of laundry (mini-machine with spinner so, time intensive but wee loads) at home before going back to work. One of our Physical Therapists celebrated her birthday today with an ice cream party. I chose a small serving of ice cream and…

@jugar CW: 180.6 Sorry about being late. I’m off a day. Well, probably more than a day but here I am. Out church choir is singing Louis Vierne “Messe Solemn” as our final program before the summer break. There are many lovely contrasting parts in the amazing organ and voice sections. The rehearsal today was really good and…

Last month, I became aware of some blockages within me which I feel are finally releasing me from their fat-fingered-grasp. The image that got my attention was from 2013 when I attended a cadaver class. One of my former massage therapist teachers reviewed a lot of the structures of the body on 7 or 8 cadavers. We inhabit…

@jugar CW 181 Crazy days but moving along. Now, to make time to catch up with all of you! I sure hope you didn’t crack your head, LA! Be well, y’all.

Happy last day of May and flying into June! My name is Evelyn and I live in Vermont near the Connecticut river (which has one of the longest bridges in the state). My younger daughter (36-yr-old) lives with my spouse and me as well as our 3 cats. I started my weight loss journey like many others with a great, long,…

It's been a humid day with a fabulous downpour in the middle and the temp then kindly dropped 20 degrees. Thanks! My food choices have been good including a real maple soft serve in a tiny cone (baby cone). My daughter and I bought some veggies and flowers for the gardens which we'll all plant over the next couple of days…

@jugar CW: 182. It seems likely that a new lower-decade number will be here next week. I’ll keep walking and making good food choices and see what’s what then! More on the flip.

Monday, Monday. I've gotten more steps in today than in ages because I walked the mile to and from work and also did some pool exercise. I'm loving the job and getting ready to take a week-long intensive seminar in June. Keeping up with drinking water & electrolytes has helped. It's also interesting to see how my body is…

@jugar CW: 182.0 Safe travel home! I’m still getting used to working in a humid pool environment. Drinking enough water is crucial. Sometimes, I take a long nap as soon as I get home. I figure that’s the dehydration talking. Today, I wasn’t as tired as yesterday so I know it helps. Anyone live or work in humid areas? Any…

@jugar week off for weight, please & thank you. I’m finally feeling more like myself. Although the PCR was negative, my symptoms mimicked that crappy virus in lots of ways. I did more sleeping than I thought possible. I worked for the first time all week and it was nice to ease into everything in time for the weekend!…

Oh, indeed! I get tired of hewing salad unless there are a variety of textures to select and not only greens. You know, beans, legumes, olives, tomatoes…all the textures. As for tomato pie…like pizza? I figure it might be a Philly thing! I’m just starting to feel like myself tonight…after several days of this butt-kicking…

Happy Tuesday! Wow. Two days of work in a row. Wild times! I like having shorter days as a part time worker. I haven’t worked since March 17, 2020. @jugar I’m interested in the zoom call on Saturday and can set up a space and send out the info. There’s a chance I won’t be able to be on very long because of Tom Barefoot’s…

Hi! I'm Evelyn and I live in Vermont, USA. My sister is Liselyn (@jugar) and I learn a lot from her frequent shares, fabulous recipes, and fitness suggestions. I live with my spouse (of 5 years); 3 cats; and youngest daughter (36-yrs-old) lives here, too. She's been part of the household for 2 years now and may be about…

Happy Saturday of April! @jugar CW: 181.8 It’s a slight improvement, yay! Decreasing serving sizes and salt has helped. My job starts Monday and I’m going to a choral concert tomorrow afternoon to celebrate. Happy new month, everyone!
-
Happy Wednesday, y'all! I love the "MFP... “extended outrage” (instead of OUTAGE). I don't know about you but I dislike being in a state of anger any longer than necessary. Ha-ha. I'm driving up to see my daughter in northern Vermont and will be back for my weigh in on Friday morning. In the meanwhile, I'm keeping track of…

Uh, perhaps said cat can assist in the potential mouse-expedition? Had to laugh along with you! Good luck with the mouse-invaders. I hope there aren't any still hanging around by the time you open the camp. Have a lovely day!
-
Happy Sunday! I'm standing while typing and sway-dancing to some calming music to try and offset my OHs' panic about misplacing their phone. Sigh. Well, movement is a good thing. I had a good walk after our Chef salads today. It felt good to move beyond the first thought which is to put off the walk until X (fill in the…

@jugar CW 183.6 (as reported on page 12 yesterday) Well, I have one more week and 2 days left of my semi-retirement and then back to a 20-hr/week job since 2 years ago. Seems like 100. We've got several boxes of "stuff" to go through this week and I'm determined to make it HAPPEN, no matter what! For one thing, it'll feel…
-
@jugar CW: 183.6 @PlaneMonkey I wish you were next door - I have a good "fix" to help a kinked neck. It involves pinning the upper traps and activating opposing muscles for a deeper release. I could demonstrate the basics to your OH and watch to make sure your head stays attached to your neck? :-) May 2nd I'll start my new…
-
Hallo! Man, it feels like months ago that I was here. My OH brings home too many containers of heavily salted foods (teriyaki chicken thighs, etc.) which make for helpful lunch or supper additions but good grief! I feel about 8 pounds heavier. I’ll weigh in tomorrow morning and really hope it isn’t as bad as it feels.…

@jugar CW: 178.9 Slouching into the end of a long week! My eating has been odd with portions all kerflooey…I finally got the more active job that I’ve been trying for since the late fall and know I’ll reign it in, now. Putting a plan into action for the rest of the month while I go to Boston for a pet sitting gig will…

@jugar 179.4 I’m so far behind everyone’s posts! I feel adrift but at least I’m in my own town again. I’ll catch up soon!

Sauté diced onion and small half-rounds of zucchini in the pan until lightly browned and slightly softened. Add a few slices of tomato for color (or bell peppers), stir in the beaten eggs, turn pan way down and cover to help finish gently cooking the eggs. If you prefer stirring them around while they finish, go for it.…

So good to hear the fabulous news about your sister! What a relief. Some advice from a choral director works in moving-to-new-homes scenarios as well. "Cry when you need to, sing when you can". I'm delighted that you're geographically closer to me in Vermont and hope to meet you in person this summer. Love, Evelyn

I enjoy zucchini or summer squash wedges (or sweet potato). When I use the denser veggies, I soften them in the microwave first and then the air fryer. Most of the time, a spritz of oil is more than enough. Bread crumbs add a nice layer of crunch to almost everything, although I don't usually use them. We've had luck with…
-
The week has come and gone and I didn’t weigh in this week. I won’t be home for another week so, @jugar please keep the number from last week for this and give me next week off. Then, I’ll be ready to jump back in. Thanks!
-
Happy Tuesday from North Carolina! OK, I'm way behind checking in with you all. I've been reading all of your entries and often "like" them or "hug" you. Now, to tell you how I've been doing. My flight from Burlington, VT to Charlotte, NC last Friday was lengthened due to the airport being fogged in and unable to let us…
-
@jugar CW: 182 Happy Saturday! My quick intro for the month: My name is Evelyn and I live in Windsor, Vermont with my spouse, 3 cats, and younger daughter (36-yr old). I've always considered myself oversized, even when in college when I weighed closer to my "goal weight" of 140 lbs. I seem to do best with extreme diets…
-
@jugar CW: 182.2 I guess I'm taking the scenic route to the next *lower* decade of scale numbers. Well, as you say, it's just a number - use it for information and move along. The wind howling in the background made for interesting dreams. If it helps dry out some of this extra water before it all freezes on the roads,…
